Brownwood BulletinThe Brownwood Bulletin began publishing in 1894 and is still the main paper of Brownwood and Brown County. No one has all copies of the Brownwood Bulletin. However, the most extensive collections of this newspaper are at the Genealogy Library and the Bulletin offices, both of which are on microfilm. As the Brownwood Bulletin offices do not have a microfilm reader, researchers are encouraged to stop by the Genealogical Library. ﻿More details from Library of Congress﻿.

The CollegianThe Collegian, the student newspaper of Daniel Baker College, was believed to have been started in 1905. Daniel Baker College was founded in Brownwood in 1889. It was consolidated with Howard Payne in 1952.
